How to Create a Stunning Garden with Charcoal and Black Walling

If you're looking for ways to create a stunning garden, consider using charcoal or black walling. By using either walling bricks and coping or wall cladding and coping together, you can create a dramatic and visually appealing garden that will stand out from the rest. Here are some tips to help you get started.

1. Introducing charcoal or black walling – what makes it unique and perfect for garden design?

One of the benefits of garden walling is that you can create something unique and perfect for your garden design. It can be used to create different effects in the garden, from modern and sleek to traditional and classic. Additionally, it is a great way to add depth and texture to your garden.

2. How to use wall cladding in your garden for a stunning effect

One easy way to add a touch of elegance to your garden is to use wall cladding to cover an existing unsightly wall. Even if you have a fenceline alongside your patio, you can construct a economically priced blockwork wall and then clad with contemporary styled cladding. Both of these materials are relatively affordable and can be used in a variety of ways to create a stunning look.

3. Tips and tricks for using black walling bricks in your garden

When using dark coloured walling in your garden, many of the options available are manufactured from natural stone such as sandstone and limestone. These naturally, have bags of character and are ideal for either constructing with a mortar layer between each course or for dry laying similar to a drystone wall. With the latter, you will find small gaps between the bricks which are ideal for adding alpine plants such as sedum into the cracks as these grow naturally across rocks and walling and give a stunning colourful appearance. When dry laying a wall, do not go too high as this may present a hazard in high winds. 

4. Use wall coping to finish off a wall

Coping stones are ideal to cap off the top of a wall and give a tidy finish. For lower walls, it also makes a great place to sit so that your wall has a double purpose. Bullnose step treads can also be used as wall coping as it has a rounded finish along one long edge. 

With these tips, you can create a beautiful and unique garden using charcoal and black walling. So don't wait any longer, get started today and see how amazing your garden can be.
